She was not born of thunder or war, but of everything in between-where choices hesitate, doors linger half-open, and fate has not yet decided its shape. As the Goddess of the In-Between, she exists in the quiet thresholds of the world, unseen but always present. When Hermes, the ever-moving messenger of the gods, stumbles upon her realm, he finds something he was never meant to cross without consequence: stillness that answers back. Drawn into a connection neither of them fully understands, he begins to blur the line between passage and pause. But in a world ruled by Olympian certainty, even a moment of hesitation can change destiny-and the space between them may be more powerful than either god realizes. Written by Cie🌻.

Title: The Ghost of Draven Hollow Summary: Kael Draven was born into peace, but raised in blood. The son of a village blacksmith and a gifted healer, his world ended the night mercenaries descended upon his home-burning it to ash, slaughtering his parents, and branding him as property. Taken in chains, he was cast into the depths of underground arenas where survival was earned through brutality alone. Years passed in steel and suffering, until the boy who once knew warmth was reforged into something far more dangerous-scarred, relentless, and unbroken. Now twenty-nine, Kael walks a fractured world that speaks his name in equal parts fear and reverence. Known as The Ghost of Draven Hollow, he is the last remnant of a forgotten village and a living weapon against the corrupt lords and mercenaries who prey upon the weak. His storm-grey eyes cut through deception, his blackened greatsword bears the legacy of his father's final forge, and his silence alone is enough to unnerve even the most hardened killers. Yet beneath the steel lies a wound that never healed. Haunted by the faces of those he could not save, Kael is a man at war with himself-unable to forgive, no matter how many lives he spares. Every battle is both justice and punishment, every scar a reminder of the night that defined him. To his enemies, he is a merciless predator. To his allies, an unbreakable shield. To himself, he is something far more uncertain-a man chasing redemption that may not exist. The Ghost of Draven Hollow is a dark and unflinching tale of vengeance, survival, and the cost of becoming a weapon. It explores the fragile line between hero and monster-and what remains of a man when everything else has been taken from him.

"She doesn't want to save the world, just survive. But fate has other plans." At the dawn of time, the gods waged war against an abominable force. After nearly succumbing, they managed to imprison the body and spirit of this deity in two identical blades-Suthra and Veyra-forged to contain that which could not be destroyed. Millennials later, when a pair of brothers dare to steal these blades from a forgotten temple, the sealed power awakens. Marked by symbols burning beneath her skin, Elara Dornach discovers that the stolen artifact carries not only power, but also consciousness-and that Chaos now whispers her name. As she struggles to survive and escape an inevitable fate, her twin brother, Cael, believes he has found the calling that will make him a hero. Among hunters, priests, and beings who walk between folklore and reality, the two brothers find themselves entangled in an ancient prophecy-one in which blood and sacrifice are the price to restore balance to what has been corrupted.

Before the Heart of Kandrakar chose its Guardian, there was another girl the worlds forgot. Created in secret by Phobos alongside her brother Caleb, Kai was never meant to rule or rebel. She was made to serve-to listen, to watch, to disappear within the walls of Meridian's castle. When Caleb is rescued and a rebellion ignites in his name, Kai is left behind, surviving in silence as hope becomes dangerous. Her escape comes years later at the hands of Trill, a woman who claims to be her mother and offers her a stolen past filled with love, safety, and purpose. But Trill is Nerissa, and her salvation is another kind of cage. Sent to Earth to spy on the W.I.T.C.H. girls, Kai wears borrowed faces and borrowed lies-until the Heart itself responds to her presence. When the Guardians attempt to erase her as an anomaly, something ancient awakens instead. A sixth auramere forms. The Lost Guardian is the story of the one who was never chosen, never counted, and never meant to exist-until the universe corrects its own mistake.

She was never meant to inherit the crown. She was never meant to survive the war. But when her father is slaughtered and her tribe left in ruin, Tawvari rises - not as a girl, not as a grieving daughter... but as a storm. In a kingdom ruled by ancient gods, serpents of gold, and elders who bow only to tradition, she dares to defy it all. Vengeance is her birthright. Power is in her blood. And when the world comes for her throne, she won't just fight back. She'll burn it all. "I am not my father's peace. I am my own war."

The Moth's Path is a tale of memory, loss, and self-discovery. When Elara was five, her father gave her a silver moth pendant and a lesson she never forgot-moths may seem fragile, but they always find their way through the dark. Years later, standing at the edge of the mysterious Forest of Whispers, those words echo in her mind as she follows a flickering silver moth into the unknown. Haunted by the past and searching for answers, Elara ventures deeper, confronting the silence of the forest, the weight of old wounds, and the presence of a cryptic Guardian. Along the way, she must decide whether she is chasing the truth-or being led toward something greater. As she unravels the mystery surrounding her pendant, her father's legacy, and the truth hidden within the Cavern of Reflection, Elara realizes that her journey was never about reclaiming what was lost. It was about who she would become. A beautifully woven story of resilience, grief, and transformation, The Moth's Path is a journey through light and shadow-where even in the darkest places, something new can take flight.

What does a God cast down to earth for refusing to allow his powers to lessen to reset the balance do? Will he learn from his actions or seek revenge?

You think you know all the stories: the names of Kings and the faces of Gods. You re-enacted the battles in child's play and imagined the monsters that made you sweat cold at night. Yet these fantasies were but shadows gasping in the darkness - distorted, fragmented memories forbidden by the Gods. The time has come to unveil the age of heroes and creatures, when defiance for the sake of glory or love left trails of ruin and waste. It was the age when minds awakened from the shadows of Olympus to face the retribution of the Gods, and Earth was the playground of the immortals.

Hell has eight layers that function. And one that finishes. Born without consent and shaped into necessity, Asmodeus is the Ninth Hell-the final boundary where everything stops. Cold, precise, and dangerously quiet, his realm exists to deny what should never continue. He has always believed this is normal. It isn't. As Asmodeus wanders beyond his domain for the first time, he begins to realize that Hell is not built the same way everywhere-and neither is he. Silence that watches. Growth that doesn't end. A realm that holds instead of concludes. And somewhere between the place where things pause and the place where they consume, the King of Finality lingers longer than intended. Where Things End is a mythic, slow-burn fantasy about duty, restraint, and the terrifying discovery that even the end may want to rest.

Book I of Old Blood Princess is a brutal, mythic coming-of-power story about survival, autonomy, and the slow, painstaking work of a girl building herself from the inside out. Somewhere below the mountain, a child grows up in a world that teaches her the wrong lessons too early: stay quiet, stay useful, disappear before anyone can decide you're worth hurting. Arbor learns to live on scraps of kindness and long stretches without it. She learns the geometry of fear. She learns how to endure. And far above her, Mount Olympus turns-an immortal court of the Greek gods, glittering with beauty and rot in equal measure. It is not a paradise. It is a state. A palace. A machine of favors and punishments, where mercy has paperwork and power wears perfume. There, everything is ritualized: who may enter, who may speak, who may touch. The gods do not simply want things-they claim them, and call it tradition. Arbor's story moves between these worlds as if drawn by a thread she cannot see yet. Small choices begin to stack into fate. Doors and thresholds-literal and human-start to matter. Words become tools. Rules become weapons. And beneath her skin, something ancient begins to answer her emotions the way weather answers pressure: subtle at first, then undeniable. Old Blood is waking. Not as a gift. Not as a prophecy. As a problem. Because on Olympus, anything unusual becomes currency, entertainment, leverage-or a threat to be contained. And in a court where even love is political and every kindness has a cost, the most dangerous thing a girl can do is stop being breakable.

The son of a legend. The key to a curse. The sea remembers. Ten years after the infamous Edward Vance vanished beneath the waves with a stolen relic and a ship full of secrets, his son Thomas lives quietly in the shadows of Nassau's docks-building ships, burying bloodlines, and pretending the sea doesn't whisper his name. But when an assassin comes calling and a stranger saves him with a pistol and a smile, Thomas is dragged into a storm of cursed relics, hunted names, and the legacy of a father who might not be as dead as the sea claimed. Now pursued by Blackbeard, shadowed by the Crown, and thrown in with a pistol-tongued best friend, a secretive navigator, and a half-mad pirate captain, Thomas must cross the Devil's Spine to the island where it all began-and face what his father died to contain. Because the Leviathan's Heart is waking. And blood remembers blood.

Before time itself existed, there was Arunasar-the primordial God who wove light and darkness into the universe. From His hands came angels and demons, heaven and hell, and the first races who waged endless war. Their clash ignited a cataclysmic explosion, scattering remnants across countless worlds, giving birth to life in forms both wondrous and strange. Yet Arunasar's creation did not end there. He brought forth a second and third race, unleashed a hundred colossal Titans, and, at the far edge of the cosmos, mankind was born. From paradise, two towering humans-forty meters tall-were sent to Earth as the ancestors of humanity. But as ages passed, their descendants shrank, bound by the chains of evolution, while their true origins faded into myth. Now, as humanity stands at the brink of extinction, the two ancient forebears return. They will lead mankind in a final war against angels, demons, alien beings, and the Titans themselves. A battle for survival-and the fate of the universe.
